Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"Only a 1960 was he apprehended by Israeli secret agents, and only now could justice be done, by 3-judge court sitting in the Israeli Beth Ha'am (House of the People). . . . Eichmann insisted that he had only been 'following orders.' It was deemed an inadequate defense. He was found guilty on all counts and hanged in May 1962. The message went out loud and clear. Nazi war criminals will be hunted down." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
